HI
Trying to get XUBUNTU running on my old laptop. A Compaq Armada E500 700mghz PIII with 12gb and 256MB memory.
Tried normal and alternate cd loads and both have the same results. The install all works pops out CD reboots and then gets about 10% the way across on the progress bars and then stops and does nothing else.
Tried teh recovery option re-boot and the last messages reads
"realy_hotcpu_callback" and a load of numbers.
there is an end trace message after that.
then i can do nothing else but power off.
ANy ideas i really wanted XUBUNTU on this it seemed an ideal candidate and would give me a few more years with it and the kids could have used it.
just tried again and it now said "rc-default process (1561) terminated with status 139.
thanks for your help.
Rob.
